Abstract

The morphometrics of two populations of the rock chiton Acanthopleura haddoni from the Arabian (Persian) Gulf and the Gulf of Oman are described and compared with other species of Polyplacophora. The relationships of the length to width and height of the whole animal are allometric for both populations. Differences between the two populations are in the absolute values of the slope and intercept.

Kurzfassung

Zwei Populationen der Käferschnecke Acanthopleura haddoni im Arabischen (Persischen) Golf and im Golf von Oman werden in morphometrischer Hinsicht beschrieben und mit anderen Arten der Polyplacophora verglichen. Zwischen der Länge und Breite sowie der Gesamthöhe der Tiere wurden allometrische Beziehungen gefungen. Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Populationen wurden in den mittleren absoluten Werten für die Gebäusekrülmmung und für das Intercept gefunden.
